Toy Story

Randy Newman-I Think It's Going to Rain TodayFor me, growing up, Randy Newman was the guy who sang the awesome songs in movies like "Toy Story" and one of the greatest feats of cinema, "The Little Rascals". He always sounded so upbeat, jaunty, and optimistic. The excat opposite of this song. I had no idea until this year that Randy Newman was a serious singer/songwriter. I had no idea he could sound so heavy and defeated, blue and slow. I had no idea he was this good. This is the studio version, when I first heard this song it was a live performance. It didn't have the strings like this one, but I thought it was a plus, wihtout them there's more space for everything. This is almost as breathtaking as the live version and it'll do until I track that one down.

Also, I'd appreciate it if people told me what they thought about songs, good or bad. Songs will be taken down in a week or so.
